  the Speech and promissing to prosue the advice & Derictions given them 
  that they wer happy to find that they had fathers which might be depended 
  on &c#

  We gave them a Cannister of Powder and a Bottle of whiskey and delivered a 
  few presents to the whole after giveing a Br. Cth. Some Paint guartering 
  & a Meadele to those we made Cheifs after Capt Lewis's Shooting the 
  air gun a feiw Shots (which astonished those nativs) we Set out and 
  proceeded on five miles on a Direct line passed a point on the S# S# & 
  round a large Sand bar on the L# S# & Camped on the upper point. The 
  Misquitors excessively troublesom this evening Great appearance of wind 
  and rain to the N# W# we prepare to rec've it ¬ The man Liberty whome 
  we Sent for the Ottoes has not Come up he left the Ottoes Town one Day 
  before the Indians. This man has eithered tired his horse or, lost himself 
  in the Plains Some Indians are to hunt for him, The Situation of our last 
  Camp Councill Bluff or Handssom Prarie appears to be a verry proper place 
  for a Tradeing establishment & fortification The Soil of the Bluff 
  well adapted for Brick, Great deel of timbers abov in the two Points. many 
  other advantages of a Small nature. and I am told Senteral to Several 
  nations Viz. one Days march from the Ottoe Town, one Day & a half from 
  the great Pania village, 2 days from the Mahar Towns, two 1/4 Days from 
  the Loups Village, & Convenient to the Countrey thro which Bands of 
  the Soux hunt. perhaps no other Situation is as well Calculated for a 
  Tradeing establishment. The air is pure and helthy So far as we can 
  judge.
